Cucurbiturils have become a subject of considerable interest within supramolecular chemistry, attributable to their distinctive host-guest characteristics and broad applicability across domains such as drug delivery, catalysis, molecular recognition, and materials science.

Chemspace offers a collection of cucurbiturils of different sizes in multigram quantities and in bulk.

Cucurbiturils are macrocyclic molecules composed of glycoluril monomers linked by methylene bridges, forming a cavity that can encapsulate a wide range of neutral and cationic species through hydrophobic and cation-dipole interactions. Their tunable cavity sizes and high binding affinities enable diverse applications, including stabilizing and delivering pharmaceutical compounds, catalyzing chemical reactions with enhanced selectivity, modulating the properties of dyes, and serving as building blocks for advanced molecular assemblies and nanotechnology.
